//load the MS Access JDBC driver
    Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");

    //open a connection to the "chemistry_test" database  
    String url="jdbc:odbc:chemistry_test";

    Connection testConn= DriverManager.getConnection(url,"test1","test1");
   String userSearch = request.getParameter("Pnumber") ;
    String buttonChoice = request.getParameter("searchChoice") ;
     //place query results in a ResultSet object
    //String jsql="Select * from UserList WHERE uName= '"+userSearch + "'" ;

  // String abu = request.getParameter("Pnumber") ;


String abu;

    if (buttonChoice == ("username"))
    abu = "uName";
else if(buttonChoice == ("userrole"))
     abu = "Role" ;
else if (buttonChoice == ("firstname"))
    abu = "Fname" ;



  String jsql= "Select * from UserList WHERE '"+abu+ "' = '"+userSearch+ "'";


    //create a statement object for sending SQL queries
    Statement stmt = testConn.createStatement();

    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(jsql);
